    I’d guess baby boomers being born in 1980 would be done by people who’d like to view everybody above middle age as old and irrelevant.

    That said, I think the idea of these generations is kind of wierd. Like, someone born in 1946 would probably not have a lot in common with someone born in 1964. We’re talking early hippies (maybe even predating hippies) and punks being the same generation. And for gen-x it would be late punks, metal heads and ravers.

    Edit: somewhere between boomers and gen-x there’s disco I guess?

      At the time, the disco group was known as the “Me Generation,” due to its focus on themselves rather than others (a stark comparison to the socially conscious hippies that came before).
